Algonquin Clinicals? (For BSN)

I am trying to decide on a college for Fall 2011, for a BSN (4 years) I really like Algonquin except for one thing: as far as I can tell from the pamphlet I have from them, your practicum doesn't start until the start of your 3rd year, is this true? is this a deciding factor on my decision? I would rather start late first year or early second year, is it important?
